SixLinks: Good thoughts, from a fellow person.

More changes rolling in..

We've now got good backups, which should make everyone feel better.

We also now have some nice add-as-friend buttons on friendable pages, and allow people to favorite blogs and fixes without friending a person. (You know, for when you want to follow Al Gore's blog, but are too ...

Really?

The band called "Minus the Bear" released an album called "We are not football players".

Wait. Really? Is that what we've come to in music?

Powered by cookies and coffee

So I got a christmas package from my parents a few days ago, and since then, have been living essentially on cookies and coffee.

I suspect somehow that that's how I'll make it to alpha release.

In other news, we now have titles on every page (or at ...

Just taking a moment to appreciate the scale

Jeff has created over 120 pages, with 200+ citations. That's a phenomenal amount of content.

I've written 6900+ lines of code. Put into book-style pages, that'd be about a 230 page manuscript.

We've been working our asses off, but with a quick look back over the ...

Profiles, feeds, and signing up! It's starting to feel like we're getting there.

Tonight's set of changes are mostly that you can now:

a) edit your profile (minus the avatar) (for which a default was added and now works)
b) that you can actually create an account, and set it up without any human interaction.

Now, mind you I haven't actually ...

Hold onto your hoodies, folks.

EDIT: orrrr, don't hold on to them. Figured out a way around that mess that seems to work.

Just realized that ANOTHER code refactoring needs to hit the back end.

This one even scares me.

Will probably hit live late tonight.

Little tweaks go a long way..

Favorites have been improved.

You can now fav individual blog pages, someone's blog, and fixes, and have them show up on your updates page. Additionally, comments generate update items under some very specific (hopefully non-annoying) conditions:

- If there's a new comment on one of your blogs, and the ...

And that was significantly less painful

New look is up, as well as nice tweaks for favorites, auto-favoriting of used guides (can be overridden), and some signifigant css fixes.

Like, for example, the fact that flags on inline fixes don't look like crap anymore. So that's nice.

Damn, that hurt.

Just finished a round of updates that created massive headaches, and killed anything put into the site in the last few days at least.

Registration works now though, as well as favorites, updates feeds for favorited pages, and some stuff I can't remember right now.

Got a design for your part page!

it'll include feeds from your friends,

feeds from the pages you're watching,

quick buttons to update fixes, new blogs, and new fixes, and search,

recent messages received (who they're from)

and 5 random friends of yours

Sweet, now there's an updates page

The updates page now works.

Minus new friend updates. Those will have to wait until there's a way to add friends in the interface.

Oh crap, I also forgot all the stuff about filtering and flags. time to get to work!

I'm really starting to get excited about this

Sixlinks is really starting to come together, in a really powerful way.
